How securely will this stay in an outlet on a motorcycle that shakes like a cold chihuahua on meth at idle?

Well, never tried using this on a motorcycle. What I can say is...... it's a good quality jack that fits snugly in the 12v socket in our vehicles (one of which is a diesel truck). The fit / quality is way better than the cheapo ones we bought at the big box store. I liked it so much I recently purchased a second one.

I don't see why it would not work in a vehicle BUT. Be prepared because this comes with fittings for a MOTORCYCL. So to unstable it in a vehicle, you will have to adapt mounting fixtures and power connection. But it should be all right.

i assume your talking about the power plug, this would be very tight it might plug in but the mount would be pressed against the wire which would create an unsafe condition. "Mount Factory" has other styles too one of which should work. good luck my friend !

George, for safety purposes and to prevent any incidents, it is my recommendation to protect the battery and connectors from exposure to elements, animals, and/or persons....It will also maintain the battery secured and safe, since it will be on a trailer, the movement might create another hazard.Hope it answers your concerns.

Not likely but if tNot likely it is very secure .mine is very secure. Weather it's over rough terrain or 100 ÷ mph it stays put

I think it depends on the length of the cord. Since I had longer cords, I did not have a problem with this falling out of the outlet.

Well I do not know about motorcycles, but they soldered well for the wires on a Xbox 360 disk drive and had no problems with short circuiting at all. I think for it did a good job with small electronical parts. Hope that's help

I don't think it could vibrate open, but it isn't as secure as a drain plug. It's mostly just plastic and I have had the plastic end of it get bumped and pop off. I didn't make it one full season to ever see the value in it before I had to go back to the standard plug. Measure in front of your oil plug and see if you have 3 inches of protected space. If it's in a spot that won't likely get touched, you'll be fine.

I do, but you'd want to make sure that your outlet turns on with the ignition only. Mine stays plugged in 24/7.

Yrs it has stabilization but I don't know if it will handle motorcycle shaking?

I use it in my 18 wheeler.. It has really held up good. It stays at the temp that I set it. I use my CIG. Lighter outlet 100% of the time. I hope this is useful. I love mine...

We leave it plugged in constantly and have done so for months at a time with absolutely no issues. Our motorcycles and any other battery connected to the charger always are ready to go.

I have one above the door on my motorhome to see who is at the door. so as long as you have 12 volts their should be no problem,excellent idea.

As the others have stated, any direction should be fine. I will add though, in my experience, it depends on the pressure of the cable. 1/4 turn typically works to disconnect as long as the cable isn't pushing the metal back together. I have this in a couple of trucks and I usually leave the key in the ignition and the door open to hear the buzzer so that I know when it has truly disconnected (neither vehicle has a hood light). Works like a charm though.

Arthur, I had one of these mounted on the rear view mirror arm on my motorcycle. Although it is a fairly tight grip...I wouldn't rely on it, as my phone vibrated off on an uneven stretch of road one day and took a tumble along the freeway and was smashed to smitherines. I don't feel it's strong enough for the use of a motorcycle IMO. Hope that helps!

As long as it will hold the battery firmly in place, you can use heavy wire. Add an extra wrap of wire for extra security if there's enough room. Make sure that the wire won't touch the terminals if the battery happens to move. Apply plenty of insulation, like electrical tape around each terminal and secure it with a zip-tie so it doesn't unravel.

Not really. I suppose you can wheel it out of the way but you'd have to have a place to store it and plug and unplug it each time.
